- Lucent 7y agoScrolling down on web pages in the 90s made of tiny repeating textures and watching the renderer struggle to keep up with painting has instilled a deep fear of using extremely small images in tiling. What an icky feeling to find out your desktop may have some off-the-charts polygon count for its plain black background.
- Kwpolska 7y agoI would expect the OS to just scale the image to screen size once when it boots (or whatever) and cache that image.
- colejohnson66 7y agoThe neighboring comment is dead, but that is basically what Windows does IIRC. When you set it, it prerenders the image at the screen resolution and caches it.
